7 ways to reduce cellulite quickly and easily

Cellulite is a fact of life. It happens to most women regardless of weight and age. While it’s completely natural, it’s not most women’s look of the summer. So how can you reduce the orange peel look?

Body and Soul have a few tips for us…

1. Load up on anti-oxidants

   Include plenty of antioxidant-rich foods in your diet, such as acai and other berries, red and orange fruits and veggies, and citrus fruits. Antioxidants are your number one defence against free radicals, which cause damage to skin cells and can contribute to cellulite formation.

2. Go green

   Drinking green tea can help reduce the signs of cellulite. Green tea has been found to be effective for increasing energy expenditure and assisting with weight loss. It is also a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent free radical damage. Drink about three cups of green tea a day.

3. Healthy fats

   Replace saturated fats with healthy omega-3 fats such as oily fish, flaxseed and fish oils, and nuts. These help with blood circulation. Poor circulation reduces the body’s ability to deliver nutrients to skin cells, causing them to clump together, which can compound cellulite problems.

4. Exercise

   Regular exercise is vital. It burns calories to reduce fat, boosts circulation and can help disguise cellulite by increasing muscle tone under the skin. Exercise also improves lymphatic drainage, which carries toxins away from cells. If drainage is sluggish it will contribute to cellulite.

5. Cut out toxins

   A build-up of toxins in the body can affect the dermis and contribute to cellulite formation. Remove or limit toxins such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee and heavily processed foods containing high levels of sugar and chemical additives. Make sure you drink plenty of water.

6. Use herbs

   Try herbs. Dandelion leaf tea helps reduce fluid retention, as well as helping to flush toxins from the body. You can also use dandelion leaves in salads or fresh juices. Ginkgo biloba, a herbal preparation from the dried leaves of the ginkgo tree, helps boost circulation.

7. Invest in some ace skincare products

One of our favourite – and bestselling products – is Guinot TechniSPA Antiserum Minceur Anti-Cellulite – Slimming Anti Cellulite Antiserum has three roles to play.

1. Double Dermo Lipo-Aspiration – In a single technical step, the massage head provides dual slimming action. As it moves over the skin, it has a vacuum effect, forming a double skin fold that boosts the effectiveness of the treatment. Patented system.
2. Double Slimming Ionisation – The double ionisation technique optimises the penetration and diffusion of the Active Gel Serum slimming ingredients into the skin to enhance treatment results.
3. Thermal Slimming Effect – Heat diffusion helps dissolve fat on the skin’s surface and activate cutaneous microcirculation, stimulating tissue drainage and smoothing away cellulite, while ensuring optimal comfort for the client.
